Does anyone know how the name Ladybird came about?

I hope we get monthly or at least quarterly Ladybird Newsletter just to keep the attention of the project along with attracting those who still dont know.

I would argue this is perhaps the most important OSS project right now. But gets very little support from bigger companies. Assuming money is an issue.

Anyone connected with Amazon, Meta, IBM, Oracle, Netflix, Salesforce, Adobe, Samsung, Epic, Uber, Bloomberg, Sony, Tesla. Platinum is only USD $100,000 a year. May be even Microsoft, since they dont own blink and would actually benefits competition eating away Chrome's advantage.
